We gather to worship. We want to be able to express our love and gratitude to God for the work he
has done in, and through us, the previous week through our study, prayer and ministry to others.
We gather to share in community. We believe that God has given us one another as a safe place
where we can find life together that is whole and complete through Jesus.
Why we sing …
We sing because music provides a great opportunity to put great words of encouragement, hope and
love upon our lips. The power of music speaks to the deepest places in our souls. We need the
emotional and spiritual connection of music to lift our thoughts and hearts to a new level.

work of God in our community.
